Strictly following the cult of varṇāśrama-dharma, the inhabitants of those islands, who are known as Śrutidharas, Vīryadharas, Vasundharas and Iṣandharas, all worship the expansion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead named Soma, the moon-god.

Translation
The inhabitants of those islands, who are known as Śrutidharas, Vīryadharas, Vasundharas and Iṣandharas, all worship Soma, the moon-god, an expansion of the Lord, personified as the Vedas.
Personal Guidance
The inhabitants strictly follow varṇāśrama-dharma — they live according to spiritual duty, not personal preference. Outside Bhārata-varṣa, structure is preserved by their nature; in our world it must be chosen. Choose it consciously.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I living by preference where I should be living by duty?
- What spiritual duty have I been postponing because it isn't what I feel like doing?
